Will stunnel will work with PKI certs vs self-signed? Dan Lendl 919-257-3062

Stunnel and RTMPS
by Nimrod Aviram 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi, I'm currently trying to use rtmps, with Red5 and Stunnel, and it doesn't work with properly signed certificates: When I use a self-signed test certificate, everything works just fine. But when I use a proper certificate (2048 bits from godaddy.com, if that matters), NetConnection.connect just doesn't work - the server doesn't get a connection. https stil works though, and the browser treats the certificate as valid, so it's probably not a problem with the certificate. I saw some earlier posts on this problem, does anyone have a solution? Any comments are welcome... thanks, Nimrod

server refuses connection by STARTTLS
by Tsurutani Naoki 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi, I want to connect to SMTP server by STARTTLS, from MUA who does not support STARTTLS. However, I cannot connect to the server with recent stunnel. On Windows XP, my stunnel.conf is the following: client=yes debug=notice output=C:\logs\stunnel.log service=stunnel [smtp_server] accept=127.0.0.1:10025 connect=smtp.example.com:587 protocol=smtp stunnel version 4.27 or 4.29 is started as service, by "C:\Network\stunnel\stunnel.exe" -service -install c:\home\turutani\INI\stunnel.conf I cannot connect with OpenSSL distributed via stunnel. Then I changed the OpenSSL DLL, and found that I can connect with OpenSSL older than 0.9.8i, while that newer than 0.9.8j fails. But it works by adding "sslVersion=all" or "sslVersion=SSLv2" to configuration file. I also ran stunnel on FreeBSD, and found the same result about SSL version. Here is a debug level log, with no "sslVersion=" or "sslVersion=SSLv3": 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]:

I finally seem to have stunnel up ,and running with Agent ver 2.0 newsreader. I had to do some more research on this, and thru patience, and many config changes I believe stunnel is now supplying SSL for my agent newsreader. Not an easy task for a total windows dummy like me though. Never have got the Linux thing. I guess it is the having to deal with scripts issue continually that scares the hell out of me!! IF anyone needs the procedure in the future for this let me know and I will send it to them! jb

How to setup forte agent to work with stunnel latest version.
by johnnyb mee 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I have been trying to get stunnel to work with Agent 2.0 newsreader so that I can use SSL from my news server. I have read the faq and gone thru alot of previous posts concerning this and found this one entry suggestion for the stunnel.config file in order to setup SSL to work with Agent which unfortunately has no SSL capabilities at all. It is suggested to use this entry to get both the newserver and client to work thru using stunnel as a proxy server service basically. c:\program files\stunnel -c -d 127.0.0.1:119 -r unlimited.newshosting.com:563 I copied and pasted the entry changing the usenet server to the above, and now I can no longer get stunnel to start at all. I am getting an error message stating I need to check the logfile to determine what is causing the error. The actual logfile error is as follows: 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: PRNG seeded successfully 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service pop3s 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service imaps file stunnel.conf line 55: No '=' found 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG3[3456:1988]: Server is down As you can ascertain I am no linux expert at all so working with startup scripts such as this is challenging to say the least. Is the entry I pasted into the config file incorrect or not pointing to the right path for the config file directory or what do you think is missing? I am using Windows XP Pro and know that the actual file for the config resides in windows/system32 folder. Any input on this would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance all. jb

Using stunnel instead of SSL API
by Vladimir Stariradev 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi Guys, I'm working on a java mobile app (J2ME MIDP 2.0) which connects to a java server, which I created. The java mobile app is an instant messenger. I want to use stunnel to encrypt the communication between the app and the server. At the moment the server runs on my localhost on port 5555 and accepts connections from the mobile device emulator I have running on the same machine. Eventually I want to transfer the mobile app on to my mobile and use it from there. My machine is running the following versions stunnel 4.29 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l on Windows 7 x64. I have not yet configured a pam or config file but I would like to continue listening on port 5555 with my own certificate (but for now any will do). Will the fact that I'm running both my server and device emulator on one machine mean that it'll bypass stunnel and I'll never know if it works or not? Should I have my mobile app use SecureConnection (SSL encrypted) class? In that case, I'd have to make the server listen for SSL connections too. That would defeat the purpose of stunnel. Help on configuration is welcome. Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to your replies Vladimir

privileges not dropped before libwrap processes are spawned
by Micah Anderson 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi, I recently stumbled on http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2008-May/001977.html which is exactly what I am seeing with version 4.27 of stunnel, namely the daemon is not switching to the setuid/setgid specified in the config before it is spawned. This means that I get 6 processes, 5 run as root with only one (albeit the one lisenting on the specified sockets) dropping privs to the specified user. The follow-up response from Mike was: I'll modify stunnel to delay spawning libwrap processes until privileges are dropped. and indeed, I find in the Changelog file for version 4.25 the following Bugfixes: * Bugfixes - Spawning libwrap processes delayed until privileges are dropped. However, it seems that either this fix either didn't make it in, or it somehow managed to creep its way back out because it is happening in 4.27. Thanks, micah

BBwin hanging windows
by Gregory Wege 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hey Guys, We have the following problem: Bbwin is sending traffic to 2 monitoring servers and is encrypted via stunnel. If one of the monitoring servers goes down, the number of ports being used by bbwin client increases to the point where the box is unusable - no more ports available on the windows box being monitored. If we kill the bbwin process, the problem goes away temporarily - after a short period of time, the problem returns. The problem continues even after the failed hobbit server recovers, and only clears up when we kill the bbwin process. * Windows version Server 2003 * bbwin versions 0.11, 0.12 * stunnel version 4.25 * hobbit server version 4.2.2 Output of the stunnel log shows the following error: 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:2460]: New thread created 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl started 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 356 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1725 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 396 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG6[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connecting 10.132.55.24:1982 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG3[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connect 10.132.55.24:1982: No buffer space available (WSAENOBUFS) (10055) 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl finished (0 left) Can something be added to my stunnel.conf to prevent this from happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
